Anti-evolution stickers on schoolbooks removed: David Pescovitz:In 2002, officials in Georgia's Cobb County school district placed more than 30,000 stickers on textbooks stating: "This textbook contains material on evolution.

Six parents sued the school district and won. In January, a federal judge in Atlanta ruled that the stickers are unconstitutional because they violate the separation between church and state.
